The Orissa government has decided to extend the TRIPTI (Targeted Rural Initiatives for Poverty Termination and Infrastructure) scheme to all the blocks of the state.

A decision to this effect was taken at a high-level review meeting presided over by chief minister Naveen Patnaik at the State Secretarait here on Monday.

Mission Shakti Scheme

The meeting revealed that as many as 3.87 lakh women self help groups (WSHGs) with around 46.5 lakh members have been formed under Mission Shakti across the state.

They
have been sanctioned loans to the tune of Rs 1,367 crore for various activities.

The
items produced by the WSHGs are being taken by the Reliance Fresh and ITC for marketing.

More than 7,000 water bodies have been created by these SHGs for fisheries while more than 7,000 SHG members have been appointed as agents for public distribution system (PDS) outlets.

About
63 Groups have been involved in distribution of LPG cylinders in their respective areas.

Orissa Agriculture , some very useful Information

The State Government has decided to increase seed replacement rate in paddy to 25 per cent by the end of the 11th Five- Year Plan.In view of the possibility of reduction of paddy production during the year, the State Government has decided to open seed centres in each gram panchayat. Besides, a decision has been taken to intensify the seed village scheme.

Other programmes include establishment of seed storage godowns and seed processing plants. Mobile seed processing plants will be introduced to help farmers in interior areas. Campaign for seed treatment will be launched among the farmers.

Out of the total cultivated area of 61.5 lakh hectares, 70 per cent (40.17 lakh hectare) is acidic and four lakh hectares saline. Three lakh hectares are water-logged.

The reasons for low productivity have been identified as lack of assured irrigation, low seed replacement ratio, low level of fertiliser consumption and mechanisation and weak extension machinery.

The State Government has taken up application of lime (paper mill sludge and gypsum) on a largescale and promotion of green manure like dhanicha as soil amelioration measures. Besides, bio-fertiliser is also being promoted.
